I'm just quoting the bible like Folau did. Folau chose to use the bible to attack homosexuals -- he made no distinction between homosexuals and sexual acts -- and someone else could do the same regarding 'rebellious kids'.
The banner he actually used said,'Warning. Drunks, homosexuals, adulterers, liars, fornicators, thieves, athiests, idoloaters (which in Fundamentalist Protestant-speak includes Catholics ... hell awaits you.
If that's biblical, then it is a matter of relevance to quote other passages in the Bible.
Assuming that you don't think 'rebellious sons' should be stoned, then it illustrates that 'only quoting the bible' is not good enough.
No matter how misguided you judge him to be, Israel obviously had the true good of his readers, rather than cynical mischief, at heart.
Folau, cherry picks the bible which calls to question his motivation.
Folau, this great man of principle, also conveniently forgets that breaking a freely signed contract is a kind of lie.
If you say you will do something and you accept the constraints that you employer stipulates, then break those constraints, you either signed the contract dishonestly or you dishonestly broke the terms of you contract.
He can't be a man of high principle, lecturing others about their duties and obligations and break his own.
You could learn much from him.
I am.
